Radio Silence Lyrics - Talib Kweli

I know, we back 

We home, let's go 

I know, we back 

We home, let's go 

Check it out 

Born this way, the universe wasn't formed in a day 

Praise the lord and pray, we the children of God 

Better learn how to walk this way 

Try to walk with faith, but it's hard 

What more could I say? 

I feel I'm cursed, so I talk this way 

Gotta write what I'm livin' in graffiti 

It's the hood hieroglyphics 

So I'm lookin' for a wall to spray 

You could picture me rollin' 

You could picture me holdin' 

You could never picture me foldin' 

Refuse to beholden to your racist image of a Black man 

Kiss my entire colon 

Great mind, even though the legacy is stolen 

It's all for the silver and gold 

You can tell you in the ghetto from the litter in the road 

Man this middle-of-the-road shit really getting old 

Which one is the Real You? 

I don't know it's still you 

How can I tell if you under a spell 

Did the Fake You kill you? 

Better pass the mic in the afterlife 

If so let me spit flows 

Good enough to offer to God as a sacrifice 

Born again like I passed away 

Castigated for being honest 

Caught bail like a Castaway 

Because I feel like I'm swimmin' on an island 

When I'm gettin' introspective: that's radio silence 

When I'm fuckin' up program directives: that's radio violence

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

You were the one who wants to slow me down 

I'm a criminal when you're around 

What makes me think you would love me? 

What makes you want to attack me? 

Born this way, woke up like this 

The midpoint between science and religion 

Is tryna find out what the meaning of life is 

October 3rd, '75, my birth is a blessing 

Ain't no spoken word could ever describe how the flow get better 

I live on the edge, I'll send you a postcard 

Fuck a phone, I got a chip on my neck that's a close call 

Turn the lights off, see how we glow in the dark 

Or we growin' apart or tryna survive the flood like we in Noah's Ark 

We battin' down the hatchets and we set sail 

Tryna get far away from inhalin' them chemtrails 

My intel says they makin' people out of the stem cells 

The gun's our sunflower seed - we love to spit shells 

When them super soakers get let off it don't end well 

I ain't know you like to get wet, dog, like Denzel 

They hype it up like marketers, sparklin' like a fish scale 

Till' you chasin' a high like Captain Ahab after that big whale 

It's criminal 

Photos 

You were the one who wants to slow me down 

I'm a criminal when you're around 

What makes me think you would love me? 

What makes you want to attack me? 

Born this way, Capricorn, L.A 

On the day of January 15 

Dr. King his dream torn from a warm womb 

Formed from the clay existing 

Shifting from the essence uplifting in the presence 

Just drifting, gifting through this mortal coil 

With mystic lessons from the sage 

California spoiled a blessing 

Blissed up my first breath in outer space 

I kissed death in the face 

No identity complex, it gets left in its place 

I'm proud to say no aborted torment to my rejection 

Miffed, dismayed, and somewhat befuddled 

I struggled to hustle and come up when the blood corpuscle boils 

I'm pressin' issues, its business that's mixed with pleasure 

It's plizness to play and get paid 

During this clone war for dna 

You should know more about the donors confessing my dulah from prenatal 

I'm off fire, water, elixir of liquor, with soft or hard core drugs in my system 

Sicker desire to be delivered wisdom 

Pour black white sexy texture of lovers like jungle fever 

Wild zebras to make this fetus brother 

The son of my father, I want to hear my one Shawki 

And my daughter Aja lecture selections in musical meters 

In physics you should explore and visit more 

Exquisite shores and districts, take a breather 

Believe in your epic eye memory 

You are descendant of natural leaders extended from before the nephilim 

Bethlehem, even eden and mu testaments heaven-sent 

Energy, books, messages read them scriptures 

Look at the various sizes of giants in Egyptian pictures 

Stonehenge endured the mathematics of Mayans 

And megalithic structures evidence frequencies vedas 

We're just the latest reproduction created out of pure star dust 

And made in his image but God is greatest!
